Looking for tips on how to use the new AI tools to help with a literature review.

I was so excited about NotebookLM, but my frustration is growing. I uploaded the papers (~40) I want it to draw from, and then spent several hours trying to get it to draft a reasonable lit review *with citations*

@statstas.bsky.social — your point about totals rather than percents
The actual number of votes that Trump got is less than he lost with in 2020. This was an absolute failure of Democrats to turn out the vote. I don't think any of these places actually became more Republican

Can anyone point me to a paper, WP, blog post that reviews the literature on synthetic samples? Thank you

Has anyone used DC’s school lottery as an instrument to evaluate effect of pre-k on subsequent educational achievement ?

Fantastic thread on data quality issues with inattentive respondents.We can’t weight our way out of these problems if the demographics are provide are wrong
To your points, yes, this is GESIS. The question was "recent research" and I certainly think "forthcoming at JSSAM" is responsive to that question. But it's not the only study to find that inattentive respondents differ in politically-relevant demographics

Searching for the dates of the next AAPOR conference, I typed in "aapor.org conference." None of the top hits were helpful --previous years, archived site

I think we could use a little Search Engine Optimization, @aapor.bsky.social

In the meantime -- include 2024 in your search (or "79th" 🙄🤪)

Please share concrete examples of how you’re using LLMs in your jobs

Draft email to boss reminding them they owe you something?

Translate code from R to python?

I’m sure you all have ideas I haven’t thought of

If we think of political survey participation as itself a form of political behavior, it follows that a way to increase and equalize this participation is to lower the costs of participation. And yet, flagship poli sci surveys take 90 minutes or more to complete
With polling in the headlines, Tori Gorton & I have revised our paper, "On the Internet, No One Knows You’re an Activist: Patterns of Participation and Response in an Online, Opt-in Survey Panel."

tl;dr Survey participation is itself a political behavior.

I'm interested in software to manage a survey panel. Can those of you who run such panels let me know what you use What are the crucial features?

I'm still new to BlueSky and finding my way. So far I'm seeing way more porn than on the other site. All the feeds, regardless of topic, are porn filled -- unfortunate
